Prince Da 'STAURIMBERG quits England with sincere regret... Let lens front Memel, of th.e lBth ult. present a afiliaing detail of the calamities produced in that City by a scarcity of provistons. The scarcity is indeed suchas alniost to amount to a fainine, abated in its severity only by the desertion 'of a vast number of the inhabitants. The town is therefore nearly de- Populated. His Prussian Majesty is still at'Memels benevcilently alive in using the small means which be has been permitted to retain, to alleviate the Idiss tress of his people. • An American. Vessel, from Holland, arrived on Monday at Dover; and lauded some passengers.-- The boatmen, who brought there ashore, declared them all Englishmen ; but, - upon examination,. two cf them were discovered to be foreigners, in conse uence of which the, boat was sei*ed by the Custom house Otricers..

At . Flushing. antithe neighbouring ports of Holland, the sea over flowed tb a great extent, spreading destru&ion far and wide in. its progress. Cuttle, Omit, and houses,. were swept away, and many persons were drowned. The miniber of persons lost is supposed to be very considerable. There are some instances in which whole families perished in their 'houses. The Island of Madeira is of a triangular form, and is situated 240 miles .

The icndent/otir, Dssmottr, from !Messina for Li... verpool, is lost on the Point of Garlock, in the Highlands of Scotland. Several of the crew were so worn out with fatigue by the extreme bad wea ther, as to be incapable of getting on deck, even when warned of the danger. One had died.—Much praise is due, to Captain DESMORR and his Mate, for their persevering efforts in endeavAring to preserve the Ship, without any other assistance whatever, either at the pump or working the vessel. Although much reduced themselves when the Endeavour drove on shore, yet they then used what little strength was left in affording relief to their tellow-sufferent, and succeeded in getting two on shore; one of %limn died immediately after the remainder perished be low.—Captain Dasmoatt was the last of the survi vors who quitted the Vessel .he was much bruised ;against the racks, and greatly frost-bitten.

Mr. JOHN FIRTH was called to the Chair. He addressed the Meeting in a-short speech, explanatory of the purpose of the Meeting, and read a string of 4esolutions prepared fur the oc casion. The Rusohnions were just such as might be , expetied, expressive of the ourt hens of war,and the blessings of peace. A peisen theo observed, that as wear delay had taken plac e 0 11 a former occasion of the same kind, owing to ibe indisposition of Mr. W t taszeeottc a, which pi evented s -Mat Gentletnan from attending His Majesty in a court-dress, he proposed that the Petition should be accompanied by a fienee/ umiacout. This very unbecoming attempt at pleasautry Mai , u however tic, ought to have 'beet' characterized by decorum and gravity, was properly scouted by the company.. Mr. BAK/SWELL, of Wakefield, went into some length in defence ofthe Petition, and the motives from which it resulted, taking credit to the county - fur having been ties first to come forward on former . occasions of the same kind. The Petition was re-, ceived with approbation, the nesoletions were : agreed to, and it was determined that Mr. Wui ealtFoatcae and Lord MILTON be requeste4 together or individually, to . present the PeLilloll to His MA. , ausiry. The Meeting was MI attended by Mr. WILBERFORCE, Lord MILTON, or any other distin guished charaCierti in the County.—We have before observed, that from whatever motives such Meetings proceed, they are not calculated to promote the in tend ed objeCt ; but, on the contrary, their obvious tendency is to animate the Enemy, anti make him hope that he will be able to extort from our diatresses and our discontents concessions. which .the interests and he noer of tlae Empire would otherwise induce us to disdain. Nobody c an doubt that our Government is anxious to obtain a just and honourable peace ; and we may be assured that this is not to be obtain ed by weak complaints or factioes clamours, but by Sound policy and national vigour. The Marquis of BUCKINQIIAM, with a spirit of hospitality highly hotiourable to his charader, gave a magnificent ball . and supper on Friday last, at Stosee,, in complinteut to the Count Ds Li.cLit, and the other. Members of the House oi Bowsaw/. The next : day the Count Da LtLUS tend his suite pro .ceeded to Oxford. When the - Itlustrious Visitor has seen: all. the curiosities of that venerable seat of learning, he will proceed to Winstead; and then .return to his residence at Gosfield. We observe that 'some of our competitors: appear studiously to mention this Illustrious Character by the tine to which he has undoubtedly the best pretensions, but which he does not himself assume. Iu the present state of atiairs, such. a manner of describing the great Personage in question can render him uo ser vice, and is only eaiculated to give increased irrita tion to a mind•already disposed:to dous all the mis chief he can, ,and therefore- the properest way of mentieolog the great Personage is, that which he liiinselt adopted.

DRAR UNCI.6"A few days since I received • your kind Letter of the t tsth of Oaober, ; I am, sorry I have nothing favourable to give you in return. In my last from Madras, I innirtned you of our intended search after our , much lamented friend Sir THOMAS. At the Isleof France, captain THOthialDtill sent me in With a Flag of Truce . ; they did not allow me to land, but in other respeas were very civil ; gave no every information they possibly could, sent us ExtraCts ofLetters' treat dif ferent Correspondents as 'Madagascar, Bourbiin, the description even 'Of a piece of oak whicis..had been picked up near BOurbon, they sent t.l3;' from this it appears to have been a large Ship's top-tualit cross-tree. • The.

We' imagined it might WO been ,the Blenheim making signals of secing the and to . the Java, whose distance from the land might have been too great to have been seen. Our ideas, I assure you, were Very sanguine on the sub= jea,. More particularly when We arrived at St. 'Mary's, an Island on the coast of Madagascar, With an excellent, harbour, plenty of the best of beef, and a good watering place. The inhabitants intlirmed us, two Ships answering their description had been • ,there, watered, took a number el bullocks, stopped about 'twenty days, and sailed, they _believed, for Bombay ; this must have brought on the middle of March. We sailed the vad of June ; it takes a fortnight to convey this news over land from Bom bay to Madras; there reanins about ten weeks ; it is poisible they might have been so long on their passage under jury masts, but very improbable ; it • s however the only chance' left: We itnagined was them, and that they had sailed for this, Conse quently made the best of our way: Off the cape we met with contrary winds, and most dreadful weather, which nearly put an end to our Miserable existence, and on our arrival, to our great astonish ment, found Admiral STI aersu,who is fitting its with all possible dispatch, intending to send us back ro . India, with convoy, I believe Neu were in' hopes, from the state of the Ship, Ind troth the Captain's probable loss, the Admiral ‘yoiaid hails allowed us to have gone home, particularly as Cav tain THOUBUIDGe so much wishes it."
